Dear Everyone,
The weeks just keep getting
shorter and shorter here in Mada. The rainy season has now hit us and it rains
almost everyday around three or four. I have never seen so much rain in my
life! It just completely pours! It's also getting a lot hotter! Summer is just
starting and by January it's going to be very hot! However, the work still goes
rain or shine.
Our investigators are all doing
well! Yanta and Flavien just received their marriage papers! It only took the
government 2 years to complete them but they are getting baptized on Nov. 29!
I'm so happy for them! They've waited two years to become members and now they
finally can! Tsimangiki and Sava are also doing really well! We should know
today if their papers came and if they did they will also be getting baptized
on Nov. 29! Gina will also be getting baptized on Nov. 29 if she feels it's
right. She's just a little confused on a few things. Norbert and the family are
just simply amazing! They're still strong in the church! Norbert asked us last
night if he could move his bap date to Jan. 4! It worried us for a second but
his birthday is Jan. 4 and he wants to get baptized on his birthday and throw a
huge party after. It's completely fine it's just that either me or Elder Hein
won't be there because of the upcoming transfer in December. Which reminds me
this week is transfer week!
Elder Hein and I are staying
put here in Tana because I still have six weeks left of training! The only
Elder leaving the house is Elder Razakamandimby and we're all super sad about
it because he's such a cool Malagasy. Because he's leaving we decided to buy a
chicken and cook it up last night. Only problem was it was a live chicken and
it's been living in our garage for a week! When Elder Razaka found out he was
leaving and we told him to go buy a chicken he bought a living chicken! So
yesterday we killed it after church, de-featherd it, and cooked up last night!
Haha, I have some pretty funny pictures of us with the chicken and I'll send
them home!
That's about it for the week!
Christmas is just starting up here and we're already singing Christmas hymns in
church! It sounds weird but remember they don't have Thanksgiving so....BRING
ON CHRISTMAS! I hope you all have a great week! Elder Stringbean loves everyone
of you!
